Craft an Enchanting Door Workshop

Discover the magic of clay by creating your own whimsical fairy doors, majestic castle doors, or other delightful entries to imaginative worlds. Using basic tools and techniques, you can shape and mould clay into intricate designs that capture the charm and mystery of these miniature portals. Whether it's a quaint fairy door adorned with tiny leaves and flowers, a creepy castle door complete with ancient runes and ironwork, a fantastical door or the front door of your own house, the possibilities are endless. Once made, you can decorate your handcrafted creations with coloured glazes to leave with us and collect once fired.
